Students Re-Design Teme Valley Trail System for Local Council

Graphic Information Design students from the University of Worcester have recently helped to create a new trails system for Malvern Hills District Council. 

The requirement from the council's Economic Development Unit was initially to help re-design their trail leaflet - which consisted a single tourist leisure drive. In addition, the council wanted students to help create 6x new family circular walks and cycle rides in the region too as well as linked visual concepts for information boards and wayfinding signage.

Economic Development Officer for Malvern Hills District Council Malcolm Salisbury reviewed final student work and adds:

"It was great to see the final examples of student work, many of them had really got to grips with the Teme Valley Tour visual system brief too - we look forwards to developing some of these project ideas further.."

Client Malcolm Salisbury oversees some of the final student designs.

walk and 6x new cycle routes.

A typical walking route A4 card (designed and mapped by myself).

Each walk and cycle route is to be 'user tested' by small groups of
volunteers to make sure that we can call them 'tried and tested' on release.
